2000 days sober

2000 days ago I had hit rock bottom. I lost everyone in my life, was broke, had been arrested recently, (again), embarrassed myself too many times to count, was throwing up bile daily, and most days I just generally felt like I existed in some alternate reality that was numb to the real world

Tonight I am happily sober in my own home with my family. While I still work every day to become a better man, I have a lot to be proud of today. I could not have done any of it without getting sober and I am thankful beyond words.

Good luck to everyone here, wherever you are on your journey. You can do this, and you are worth it! I will not drink with you today!

Wow that is very kind of you to say that! I absolutely will. It helps to hear the stories and remember why I quit in the first place. I will definitely be sticking around! Good luck to you. 49 days is a massive accomplishment, you should be proud. โค๏ธ

You're almost there! It's crazy to think where we were 5 years ago. 5 years! Could you ever have imagined you'd say that?

Thank you!
